Extend your journey to Israel at home

We believe that the experience of a trip to Israel is a building block of Jewish identity. Birthright Israel creates bonds with the land and people of Israel by funding 10-day trips to Israel for young adults in Baltimore. We hope that your trip to Israel was just the beginning of a journey of exploring your connection to Israel.

“When you’re on a Birthright trip, it sort of gives you the tip-of-the-iceberg understanding of what Israel really is about.” – Mark Edelson

Harness your passion for the Jewish state and use your global connections and experience to get involved locally. We encourage alumni to invest and grow their passion for Israel through local Happy Hours, intimate Shabbat dinners and other meaningful Jewish experiences.

Young Pros Countering BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) is a multiple-session training program for young adults, who have recently returned from an Israel experience, to learn how to better advocate for Israel with a focus on combating the BDS movement.
